Engert, Florian, Ph.D.

My lab's interest lies in studying the development and circuitry of visual processing in vertebrates. We use in-vivo preparations of tadpole and zebrafish as model systems to examine retinotectal connections as they arise and mature in the developing animal. Our tools are in-vivo patch clamp recordings, two-photon laser scanning microscopy and reverse correlation techniques for extracting receptive field properties.
